| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the very 91st Shut Up and Sit Down podcast. My name is Matt Lee |
| 0:16.2 | is joined by Quentin Smith. Hello, Matt Lee's. And this is a podcast all about board games, |
| 0:22.0 | board games and the people who love them. What if I like card games? Well, we have this |
| 0:27.0 | a lot and people say, oh, board games like monopoly. And we like to think of board games as being a big |
| 0:31.5 | manger full of lots of different kinds of the manger. You're very biblical. Yeah, I was trying to |
| 0:36.4 | think of a stable is what I went but I went full on big JJ. So yeah, card games, board games, |
| 0:43.2 | party games, big strategy games. We like all kinds of games in the game rainbow. And yeah, |
| 0:49.8 | it's all fair game. It's a broad church. I like fair game. Was that was that deliberate? No. |
| 0:55.8 | Okay, well, let's move on. Today we're going to be talking about a few games. We're going to be |
| 0:59.6 | talking about Wingspan, an economic game about managing birds. Yes, you heard that right. We're going |

| 1:21.9 | aka Woodlaus Chaos. Back on the older little card games with horrible animals on them. Yeah, |
| 1:28.4 | the Dry Mager, Ugly Animal series. Ugly bugs, isn't it? Oh, Ugly bugs. I don't know. Ugly bugs |
| 1:33.6 | is a better name. I mean, Ugly bugs is classic, Ugly Bug Ball. Then finally, we're going to have |
| 1:39.1 | a very special podcast because it is time to introduce and also go through the winners of the |
| 1:44.8 | Pepples Choice Awards. I might be not sure. It's better than me just doing a noise from Zelda. |
| 1:54.4 | Every year, the shut up and sit down. Forum users all vote. They have a little experiment with |
| 2:00.3 | democracy and they all decide it's quaint, but of course, we are the fascist overlords. We've |
| 2:04.9 | all had a little experiment with democracy, haven't we? We have spoilers. It hasn't worked. |
| 2:08.8 | We're going to be naming what they thought was like, it's really our games of 2018 episodes. |
